I co-adminstrate a small company LAN that consists of 8 machines (7 running W2K 5.00.2195 and one running WinXP PRO). We have an ISDN connection with 12 static IP’s assigned to the account and 4 upstairs computers are connected to the 4 downstairs computers via 2 10/100 switches.
The problem we’re running into is this: The machines UPSTAIRS can see and browse the machines DOWNSTAIRS but not vice-versa. At anyone of the downstairs machines I can see all the PCs on the LAN but when I go to explore them I get one of the following messages on aregular basis:
1. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available,
2. No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as this computer can accept, or
3. The server is not configured for transactions.
Now, we do not run a domain server so I am somewhat confused as to what server the error message is referring to. NetBEUI is also installed and I’m wondering if this is even necessary. Are there any default settings I need to check or change in order for all the PCs to be able to “explore” each other?
THANKS!
